In order to correctly draw up a work plan for the month, it is recommended to focus on the gardener’s lunar calendar for September 2022. So, according to the calendar, the days of the new moon (September 9) and full moon (September 25) are considered an unfavorable period for carrying out any manipulations for harvesting and ennobling the garden plot.
Adhering to the recommendations of the lunar calendar for 2022, at the beginning of the first autumn month, you need to start improving and cleaning the garden plot: weeding and removing weeds, whitewashing trunks, digging the soil in the trunk circle and watering fruit trees and berry bushes.

Work in mid-September

This event is carried out in order to destroy harmful insects and their larvae that live under the bark of plants. With the advent of spring, the larvae will turn into adult insects that actively destroy the orchard.
Do not forget to treat ornamental plants, which often become a favorite object of insects. Flowers from verandas and open areas of the garden are transferred to a house or a winter greenhouse. In mid-September, it is recommended to dig out of the ground and send for storage the root part of dahlias, gladioli and anemones.

During this period, both sanitary and anti-aging pruning can be done to form a crown and improve fruiting for the next year.
